What if you bought a computer from a pawn shop and cannot get the bitlocker turned off? No key, no nothing because the password that was given was wrote down incorrectly.
What if this is the first time happening and you never got a bitlocker recovery key? Because I clicked on load hive and I put a USB drive in but I don't have a bitlocker key, what can I do from there?
That is exactly my issue as well. This happened after the latest windows update and now I am stuck. I never got a bit locker key so I certainly don’t know how to access it. load hive is grayed out and is not an option for me. My command prompt options state they cannot access the drive because the volume is locked.
Goodnight! I would like to make clear my enormous satisfaction with this video. I was looking for a way to remove BitLocker from my Notebook for over 2 years and I couldn't. I currently live in Brazil, because of this I was probably prevented from finding your video. (I'm using a translator, sorry if my English is wrong!)

Para remover o bitlocker você não tinha nem a senha e nem a chave de segurança e mesmo assim conseguiu acessar o HD vendo esse vídeo ? Se sim o bitlocker não adianta se nada então.
@@jackson35bmx Eu tinha a chave de segurança, que pode ser adquirida no Site da Microsoft. O problema é que mesmo com a chave se eu tentasse remover o Bitlocker ele não saia de forma alguma. Por exemplo, ao alterar a quantidade de núcleos a serem utilizados no Notebook uma mensagem de "Restrição BitLocker" era emitida, informando que devido à mudança que estava sendo feita, somente seria possível acessar o dispositivo com a chave BitLocker. Então eu pensei, "Bom, é só inserir a senha uma só vez e depois fica tudo certo!" Para a minha infelicidade, esse pensamento estava completamente errado. Toda vez que eu realizava o acesso no Notebook ele requisitada a Senha/Chave, até que chegou um ponto em que o "PIN" que eu havia colocado no computador, sumiu. Após isso, a Senha/Chave que eu inseria, dizia estar "incorreta", sendo que em nenhum momento eu havia alterado ela. Dito isso, perdi acesso a máquina e só consegui recuperar quando formatei com os dados de fábrica. Daí, como informado anteriormente, somente depois de 2 anos, que foi quando eu achei esse vídeo, eu consegui remover de vez à Criptografia BitLocker. Respondendo sua pergunta, o BitLocker tem sim sua função. Se você tentar alterar algo na Máquina, que mexa de alguma forma com a funcionalidade padrão atribuída à ela, o BitLocker Criptografa completamente a unidade, fazendo com que externos não consigam acesso sem que tenham em posse a Senha/Chave para desbloqueio. Se eu quiser por exemplo, mudar todas as configurações possíveis e depois Criptografar novamente a unidade, eu posso e é até melhor fazer isso. A questão é que eu não ligo para o acesso dos terceiros, como meu Notebook fica vinculado somente em Redes Privadas, é bem difícil que alguém tenha acesso. E se eu ativar o BitLocker, toda mudança que eu fizer, eu terei que repetir o processo de Descriptografar e Criptografar. Por isso eu escolhi retirar! Mas se você for utilizar redes públicas, é até melhor você ter BitLocker, ele não inibi, porém, previne.

Sometimes, it may be your SSD issues, you can do this command chkdsk /f c: to fix the problem, but your OS drive may be different drive letter in Windows Recovery Options.
He says that he uses the USB f as a demonstration only but in real life you use the SSD. So what he's saying is he's only showing how to do it through the USBF but actually what he's saying is you need to look up the SSD. He just doesn't want to say that cuz it's incriminating

Hey Snapshots, I dont remember having set a bitlocker key and I set my Surface Pro 6 myself. I also logged in to Microsoft account but it says the bitlocker key is not saved on this account. I tried to disable security boot in BIOS and also turned off TPM. It still shows the same screen for bitlocker after restarting. I have literally tried every troubleshooting. I dont mind cleaning it completely but I have one important folder which I dont want to lose. I tried to repair but no luck either. PLEASE HELP AS I NEED MY FOLDER URGENTLY. Its been 3 hours I am trying to solve this
He already copy the key on a USB drive, but for people that never created or activated bitlocker this video is useless. Basically he knewi it from the beginning so he could just input it.

Hello I have created a another profile in my laptop and for that profile i forgotten my password and it's showing that bitdriver is locked now which disk i should select for the unlocking and give some suggestions for this problem
hey dear. I have an external hard drive, which I put a password by bitlocker. It was some virus in it. when i click it, now I cannot open it and when I enter the password, it hangs and does not open. I used the cmd, trying to open but it still did not open. what should i do. thanks.
So what to do when you have no idea what a bitlocker is or where the number is saved. Ive nevrr heard of it. I tried to do a Lenovo prompted update and now i cant use my laptop. Searched microsoft account and nothing in there. I'm screwed 😔
1. Try to get into the Windows recovery options via a bootable Windows (USB). 2. In the Windows Recovery Options menu, click Troubleshoot, and then click Advanced Options. Click Uninstall Updates. 3. Restart your PC
@@johnnyappleseedz422 yea I have a very similar but slightly older model. It was top of the range at the time.. it just got wiped and had to re install windows. There is no work around despite what you might see on TH-cam. If you don't have the bitlocker number saved or the Microsoft account it's linked to you're screwed. I found 2 Microsoft accounts but neither were linked or had the number saved. I also had never heard of it and when I got my laptop back after Windows being freshly installed I asked the technician to show me where to find the bit locker number. 2 guys couldn't find it and then said it doesn't come on Windows Home only pro. But I only ever had Home and not Pro so I have no idea where this thing came from. I think it's more sabotage from Microsoft than anything else. Their customer service is appalling and not even worth the phone call. Useless. Goodluck mate but you'll probably need to do a reinstall.
@@Raimi.123 sorry to say it mate but you are screwed if you don't have bitlocker written down or backed up somewhere. After all my efforts and the technicians I took it to they knew of no work around and so I had a total factory re set. Its absolute bullshit what happens. I did a lenovo prompted update and got locked out of my own laptop. No one knew how it got there, I never heard of it, no back up no anything.. just gone. Left with more questions unanswered than answered. A complete joke if you ask me! Sorry mate.

Okay, let's make it complicated. What if it was the C Drive that got locked, and you do not have any copies of your Bitlocker Recovery Key? There are so many cases that the Bitlocker gets enabled for no reason, and users never backed up their Bitlocker key, do you have a solution to that?
It is a good question, Brother Thanks for asking , when you got a new pc, installed all programs and ready to use, clone it or create system restore points immediately Never save any important files in bootable C drive.

Can you remember your BitLocker Password?
@@SnapshotTechTips No
After entering manage-bde -off mydrive: ERROR: an error occcurred. The requested system device cannot be found
Sometimes, it may be your SSD issues, you can do this command
chkdsk /f c: to fix the problem, but your OS drive may be different drive letter in Windows Recovery Options.
when I hit enter mine was not locked it showed D:\> now what is the next step??
He says that he uses the USB f as a demonstration only but in real life you use the SSD. So what he's saying is he's only showing how to do it through the USBF but actually what he's saying is you need to look up the SSD. He just doesn't want to say that cuz it's incriminating
What if there is no other drive just single drive ssd?

Hello, can you help me find my Bitlocker Key Recovery even though my Microsoft Account says it hasn’t been setup?
Hi Gheslaine,
Have you turned on your Bitlocker key?
Can you logon your Windows?
Snapshot Tech Tips
@@SnapshotTechTips no, I just signed in using my university mail account for Microsoft and checked it if there’s a key but there’s none.
If you login via email, so all computers were registered under Microsoft accounts and Bitlocker recovery key will be available on their Server.
Or else you can try out this on your local computer
manage-bde -protectors -get C:
I’m having this same issue, I went through the steps to get my key and it says there isn’t one 🤦♀️
Do you use Windows Home or Pro?
hi is this the same with the bitlocker to go?
my recovery.txt is blank lol
right click and open nada :(
I did't done bitlocker on but still its asking bitlocker while loggining in how to proceed please let me know. Is there any ways to retrieve memory from harddisk. Thanks
could it be that you didn't wait for the drive to be fully decoded?
It shows a G disk not a usb disk and the file name of recovery txt is itself recovery not the key value , what should I do
Then you have to go into the system image recovery option
@@SnapshotTechTips can you please elaborate I don't get it .. like where exactly that option is available
You can watch one of my tutorial video

Hey Snapshots, I dont remember having set a bitlocker key and I set my Surface Pro 6 myself. I also logged in to Microsoft account but it says the bitlocker key is not saved on this account. I tried to disable security boot in BIOS and also turned off TPM. It still shows the same screen for bitlocker after restarting. I have literally tried every troubleshooting. I dont mind cleaning it completely but I have one important folder which I dont want to lose. I tried to repair but no luck either. PLEASE HELP AS I NEED MY FOLDER URGENTLY. Its been 3 hours I am trying to solve this
Hi Boney, is anyone used this Surface Pro 6.
Ask them to login Microsoft account, and check it out too.
@@SnapshotTechTips No, I am the only person using it ever since I bough it
Did you create a system restore point earlier?
@@SnapshotTechTips No! I checked for restore also and its also says there isnt any restore point. I tried to disable security bios and TPM. didnt work
Manually remove the keyboard from the surface Pro6 and then Reconnect it. Turn it on again.
Please help, I forgot my Bitlocker password and did not save the Recovery Key.

Are you sure Khushi? login in Windows normally, plug the usb drive into a USB port as usual, can your pc detect it?
He already copy the key on a USB drive, but for people that never created or activated bitlocker this video is useless. Basically he knewi it from the beginning so he could just input it. But again this video is to make ppl believe what is not and get a lot of views to generate money from monkeys like us. STUPID video
@@SnapshotTechTips are u stupid or something. He cant access windows to copy his key to a usb drive.

So what to do when you have no idea what a bitlocker is or where the number is saved. Ive nevrr heard of it. I tried to do a Lenovo prompted update and now i cant use my laptop. Searched microsoft account and nothing in there. I'm screwed 😔
1. Try to get into the Windows recovery options via a bootable Windows (USB).
2. In the Windows Recovery Options menu, click Troubleshoot, and then click Advanced Options.
Click Uninstall Updates.
3. Restart your PC
This just happened to me today after installing updates. And this is why I don't install updates. Garbage!! Lenovo Yoga C940 Trash!!
@@johnnyappleseedz422 yea I have a very similar but slightly older model. It was top of the range at the time.. it just got wiped and had to re install windows. There is no work around despite what you might see on TH-cam. If you don't have the bitlocker number saved or the Microsoft account it's linked to you're screwed. I found 2 Microsoft accounts but neither were linked or had the number saved. I also had never heard of it and when I got my laptop back after Windows being freshly installed I asked the technician to show me where to find the bit locker number. 2 guys couldn't find it and then said it doesn't come on Windows Home only pro. But I only ever had Home and not Pro so I have no idea where this thing came from. I think it's more sabotage from Microsoft than anything else. Their customer service is appalling and not even worth the phone call. Useless. Goodluck mate but you'll probably need to do a reinstall.
@@daves7104how to reinstall then? Does it mean factory reset😢
@@Raimi.123 sorry to say it mate but you are screwed if you don't have bitlocker written down or backed up somewhere. After all my efforts and the technicians I took it to they knew of no work around and so I had a total factory re set. Its absolute bullshit what happens. I did a lenovo prompted update and got locked out of my own laptop. No one knew how it got there, I never heard of it, no back up no anything.. just gone. Left with more questions unanswered than answered. A complete joke if you ask me! Sorry mate.
Hi sir, i have hp envy laptop and i disconnected battery now its asking bitlocker key but i forger my Microsoft account and i tried bios secure boot and tpm also but failed
Method 1
Step 1 In Bios Go to boot options, and then select secure boot to disable . You save it and exit Bios.
Step 2 In Bios Go to boot options again, change secure boot to enabled , clear all secure boot keys, remember to load your envy hp laptop to factory default . You save it and exit Bios
Start windows normally
Method 2
Uninstall all updates through Windows Recovery Options
Method 3
Perform " System Restore point" if you have had a backup available in Windows Recovery Options.

Hi Diego
Try this out
Type diskpart in the Command Prompt window and hit Enter.
Type list disk and hit Enter to view the available disks.
Type select disk ? That you want and hit Enter
Type attributes disk clear readonly and hit Enter.
type exit
@@SnapshotTechTips Thanks for the reply, i tried it and it said: "DiskPart failed to clear disk attributes"
are you running the Diskpart application as an administrator?
@@SnapshotTechTips I believe so. At the top of the command prompt says Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. As soon as the laptops starts it asks me to put the recovery key, if i do so, it tries to load windows but gets to a point that gets frozen. If I do not enter the recovery key at the beginning, it takes me to the screen where I can click on troubleshoot and the rest. I refuse to believe that there is no way to format this laptop and reinstall windows. It's not your problem, but thank you for trying to help me

hi sir can you help me unlock my ssd lock by bitlocker cause i sold my laptop and then i make my two ssds as enclosure but it was lock
Failed to understand! Where did the file in the USB come from?
Hi Sindhi
You keep your Bitlocker recovery in ssd or partition drives, usb is an example in this case
@@SnapshotTechTips
I don't have any passwords.
When you turn on Bitlocker
Then you will have a password
I didn't turn on bitlocker. My pc froze and rebooted to the enter bitlocker key. What happens when you never enabled this tool or save a key from the start?
If you don’t turn on , you don’t have BitLocker Recovery Key. It is simple like that
Bitlocker is used for a security reason, especially office environment, or travellers.

Okay, let's make it complicated. What if it was the C Drive that got locked, and you do not have any copies of your Bitlocker Recovery Key?
There are so many cases that the Bitlocker gets enabled for no reason, and users never backed up their Bitlocker key, do you have a solution to that?
It is a good question, Brother
Thanks for asking , when you got a new pc, installed all programs and ready to use, clone it or create system restore points immediately Never save any important files in bootable C drive.
@@SnapshotTechTips okay, let's say the user never done that? There was an update that made Bitlocker enabled even for WIndows 10/11 Home users which obviously does not have a Bitlocker feature but got enabled anyway.. how to solve that issue bro?
For an example samsung galaxy Tab Pro S
Turn on , Press F1 and F2 as the same time, until you can get into BIOS
2. Click BOOT Menu
3. Secure boot control Turn on
4. Fast Bios Mode Turn on
5. Select F10 and click on OK button to save the changes , and then it works

Hi Meg,
You can format your hard disk, but you will lose all data, and also you can do a clean windows installation if you got a bootable windows usb.
BitLocker is too complicated, if you don’t know well, it is better, you don’t use it.
